SPICY SWEET POTATO EMPANADAS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line one sheet pan with aluminum foil and another with parchment paper.
- Rub the sweet potatoes with olive oil and prick them all over with the tines of a fork. Place the potatoes on the foil-lined sheet pan. Bake for about 1 hour, until very tender when pierced with a knife. Lower the oven to 375 degrees.
- Allow the potatoes to cool enough to handle, then peel and discard the skins, placing the potatoes in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the sour cream, butter, maple syrup, chile powder, orange zest, orange juice, 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, and 3/4 teaspoon black pepper and mix well. Set aside.
- Unfold one sheet of the cold puff pastry on a floured cutting board. Roll the sheet into a 12-inch square with a rolling pin. With a sharp paring knife, cut four 5-inch circles from the pastry, using a dish as a guide and discarding the scraps. Place a heaping soup spoon of filling on each circle, leaving a 1-inch border. Brush the edges of the circles with the egg wash and fold over, making half circles. Crimp the edges together with the tines of a fork. Repeat with the second sheet of puff pastry. Place on the parchment-lined sheet pan. Chill for 15 minutes.
- Brush with the egg wash and sprinkle with the sea salt and pepper. Make 2 small slits in each empanada to allow steam to escape. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until puffed and browned. Serve hot.

Steps:
- 1. For the dough combine flour, ground chipotle, sugar and salt in a food processor and pulse until combined. Add butter and continue pulsing until it resembles coarse crumbles. Transfer ingredients into a large mixing bowl and slowly add ice water about one quarter cup at a time, stirring between each addition until a rough ball forms. Use less or more water as needed. Turn out dough onto a large working surface and divide dough in half. Form each into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
- 2. For the filling cover sweet potatoes with water in a large pot and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to a low boil and cook until fork tender about 20 minutes. Drain and transfer to a medium mixing bowl. Using a mixer or back of a fork mash sweet potatoes into a puree then stir in black beans and corn until evenly distributed. Cover and refrigerate until completely cooled.
- 3. To assemble empanadas work with one disk at a time on a lightly floured surface and roll out into a circle about 1/8-inch thick. Using a 3-inch circular cookie cutter press out as many circles as possible from the dough this should be about twenty circles. Repeat process with second batch of dough and arrange circles on two baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil. If dough has become difficult to work with you may want to chill again before filling them.
- 4. Place one rounded teaspoon of filling into the center of each circle, using your finger wet the edges with water and fold circles in half until the edges meet. Press edges together to seal then use a fork to crimp, dipping the fork into flour if it is sticking. Continue until all circles are filled and formed.
- 5. To bake preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Brush empanadas with egg wash and cook about 20 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool about five minutes before serving or store in refrigerator for up to three days. You can also freeze them and to cook bake at 425 degrees for about 25 minutes.
- 6. For the dip in a medium mixing bowl combine sour cream, lime zest and juice and cilantro and mix well. Serve dip with empanadas.
SWEET POTATO EMPANADAS
These are delicious golden pastries stuffed with cuman scented sweet potatoes. The pastry is from JillAZ, see "Recipe #84430". I tried out this filling because I needed an additional vegetarian option for a wedding. While these do take a bit of planning ahead because the pastry and the filling have to chill, I have spread out the steps over several days. Once cooked and cooled, these beauties can be frozen and reheated at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes. These are great with Cuban mojo dipping sauce.

Steps:
- Dough: Cream the cream cheese and butter in a large bowl using an electric mixer at medium speed.
- When well mixed, add the flour and salt in two or three additions and continue to mix just until the dough comes together.
- Turn out the dough and knead a few times to form a cohesive ball.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill it for at least three hours and up to a few days.
- Filling: Peel the yams and slice them into equal-sized chunks.
- Rinse the yams off and place them in a medium pot with about two inches of cold water.
- Bring to a boil, and then simmer until tender. 15 - 25 minutes depending on the size of the yams.
- When you can slide a knife easily into the yams, remove from heat and drain.
- Add butter, cumin, salt and a few grinds of black pepper and mash together until smooth.
- Chill filling until cool. If you make the filling right after the dough, they will both be ready at the same time, or you can cover and keep in the fridge for a few days.
- Assembly:Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Divide dough in half. Roll out one half to 1/8" thickness. This will be easier if the dough has only chilled for three hours, but if it has been overnight, it is still possible, just a little harder. Do not let the dough set out a room temperature.
- Cut out circles using a 3" biscuit cutter or a glass.
- Place your dough rounds on a cookie sheet, separating layers with waxed paper. Continue with the other dough half. The remainders can be re-rolled once to no ill effect. The dough rounds can be used right away, or kept wrapped in plastic in the fridge for up to two days.
- Place about a teaspoon of filling in a dough round and fold in half. Pinch the edges together to form the empanads. There is no need to seal the edges with anything other than your fingers, although the tines of a fork make an interesting design.
- Place each filled empanada on a cookie sheet lined with a Silpat about one inch apart.
- Make the egg wash by beating the egg with the water.
- Brush the egg wash on each pastry being sure to cover the entire empanada.
- Make a small slit in the top of each empanada with a sharp paring knife.
- At this point, I like to chill the empanadas for an additional 10 minutes to be sure that they keep their shape in the oven.
- Bake each tray at 450 degrees for 10-12 minutes until they are golden. Cool on racks.

Steps:
- 1. In a small pot add diced sweet potato and cover with water boil for 20-25 minutes until fork tender. In food processor add butter, cream cheese, flour and salt pulse until dough comes together. You can also do this by hand or with a mixer. put Dough in flour counter and make into a ball wrap with plastic wrap and let it chill for 1 hour. You can also do this ahead of time. After potato is cooked drain and add back into pot add sugar, honey, butter and salt. mash with wooden spoon or potato masher. Put mixture in plastic container (at this point you can add raisins optional)and put in fridge to cool.
- 2. After 1 hour get baking pans ready and preheat oven to 375 F. Flour your board or counter and roll out dough to 1/4 inch thick. Get your round cookie cutter I use a 3 inch one, Start cutting out the dough. I got 36 rounds out of my dough. In each round put a tsp full of filling in middle of round. fold over and press edge down with finger and crimp with a fork. Repeat until you are done with all the rounds.
- 3. Place empanadas in prepared cookie sheets with a pastry rush brush with egg wash and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar if desired optional. Cook for 25 minutes in preheated oven and let cool for at least 15 minutes. This recipe is so good and easy to make especially for kids. You can add raisins or nuts to the filling or both. You can use canned pie filling or do nutela and bananas as well. Some times I do an apple filling. Or you can do a savory filling like picadillo or chicken. If doing savory filling omit the 1/4 cup of sugar in the recipe.

- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a small bowl, mash the sweet potatoes with a fork, and mix in the cream cheese, brown sugar if using, lemon juice, and pinch of salt until creamy. Remove the dough from the tube and separate into 4 rectangles. Working with 1 rectangle at a time, roll over the perforated lines in the dough to seal together. Cut the rectangle in half and then cut the halves into 2 triangles. Place a heaping teaspoon of sweet potato filling in the center of each of 4 triangles. Fold the dough over on each, as if you were making ravioli, and pinch the edges together.
- Continue making little triangle empanadas with the rest of the dough, 16 total. Place the triangles on a parchment-lined baking sheet and into the preheated oven. Bake the empanadas until golden, about 10 to 12 minutes. Meanwhile, in a shallow bowl, mix together the sugar, cinnamon, and pinch of salt. While still warm, brush the empanadas with melted butter, and then gently toss in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Serve the empanadas with tangy plain yogurt for dipping.
